The Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras' (BYSO) 51st season has come to an end, and now we are eager to begin our 52nd year for the 2009-2010 season. Stay tuned for more information!

Since 1958, the BYSO has served thousands of young musicians from throughout New England.  Over the past 51 years, the BYSO has evolved from a single orchestra to one of Boston’s most prestigious arts organizations, with a programmatic scope that includes three full symphonic orchestras, a string training orchestra, a preparatory wind ensemble, four chamber orchestras, a chamber music program, and a nationally recognized string training program for underrepresented youth from inner-city communities. The organization celebrated its 50th anniversary with a sold-out Symphony Hall gala concert featuring Yo-Yo Ma in May 2008.
